I recently bought an Arima SW350 motherboard.
It supports 16 ddr simms as well as 2 opteron 2xx CPUs, so I imagine it may have pretty heavy power requirements...
It has a 24 pin ATX power connector, 2 4 pin "P4" power connectors, and an 8 pin EPS power connector.
My supermicro power supply has a 24 pin ATX connector and the EPS connector, and one P4 connector.
Can I safely run this thing with only one P4 connector plugged in? Can I safely get a "hard disk to P4" adapter and use that to power the other P4 connector on the motherboard? Do I just need a new power supply?
The board's documentation is pretty thin on the topic.

Of course they’re DIMMs; SIMMs were not DDR. – Synetech – 2011-03-08T18:59:01.927
